Description

The Nightshade Tactical Gladius — DLC Elite is a high-performance tactical sword built for those who demand precision, durability, and striking presence. With a 87 cm total length and 1.6 kg weight, it delivers the ideal balance of reach and maneuverability for collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, and tactical practitioners alike.

Paired with a Kydex 2.0 sheath, the Nightshade Tactical Gladius — DLC Elite is ready for carry or display right out of the box. The sheath features reinforced retention and flexible mounting options for versatile deployment.
